LEFTBANK WINE BAR

LeftBank has made its name downtown serving some of the best Washington — but not only Washington — wines. Readers say they love the expertise among the staff, who are always willing to make a recommendation. Reader Melissa Farr, who lives downtown, says she especially likes the cheese plate and selection of wines by the glass. Then there's the vibe: "Trendy and stylish," she says. "The atmosphere is like a photo out of Paris." (HG)
